Abstract

A dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu2(EGTA)(H2O)2]·(H2O) has been hydrothermally isolated. The structure of the complex is determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. Both copper centres adopt (4+1) distorted square pyramidal geometries. Due to the presence of water molecules in the structure, hydrogen bonds are mainly observed in the crystal packing. The energy associated with the hydrogen bonds is determined using DFT calculations. These interactions are also studied using hirshfeld surface analysis and energy frameworks.
